Using External USB Storage
Your router’s USB port can be used to share les through the network when a USB storage
device is connected on the back USB port. The router supports both FTP and SAMBA (SMB)
ling sharing protocols.
ÍNote:
ͳ For security purposes, the USB SMB and FTP sengs
on your router are disabled by default. You will need to
enable these sengs in order to allow access to your
USB storage devices.
ͳ For security purposes, the default USB SMB and FTP
admin password is congured to the same predened
password used to log into your router management
page.
